While cleaning his attic, a Reddit user found a strange object that users on the platform seem to be quite wary of.
In a viral Reddit post, shared on Monday by u/llustrious_Walk_919, the man shows the unusual doll he found in his attic while doing some cleaning.
The doll resembles a hairy monkey with white and beige fur, green eyes with eye bags and dark circles.
“Found this weird-looking thing while I was cleaning the attic. Not sure what it is,” the caption read.
The post gained traction on social media, receiving over 28,000 upvotes and 2,400 comments on the platform, and social media users didn’t hold back their comments.
One user labeled the doll a “sleep paralysis Labubu.”
Another commented: “You’ve heard of ‘elf on the shelf’, now get ready for ‘what the f*** is that?”
A third person chimed in: “I’m kind of obsessed with it. I wish the previous owners of my house would have left weird s*** for me to find in my attic.”
When you purchase a home that’s been previously lived in, you often also inherit little treasures, pieces of the previous owners’ lives that are often tucked away in hidden parts of the house, such as the attic.
Structure Tech Home Inspections have revealed the most bizarre things they have found during their attic visits.
Not only have they encountered creepy dolls, old chandeliers, and massive abandoned wasp nests, they’ve also stumbled upon abandoned guns and even an old fire extinguisher, that probably contains carbon tetrachloride, which is hazardous.
But if you’re lucky, you may find an actual treasure. According to Loft Centre, the most valuable items to have been found in an attic include some that have gone on to sell for hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars.
One notable example is the first Superman comic, eventually sold at auction for $175,000. Another valuable find is a Van Gogh painting, which was first thought to be a fake, but was then eventually valued at more than $1 million.
Last but not least, a rare Fabergé figurine commissioned by Czar Nicholas II was discovered by a curator in a New York attic. It went on to be authenticated and sold at auction for $5.2 million.
